the flames down until the arrival of
the firemen, who soon had the fire

A Printer Succeeds In the Effort TO TAX,
His Life.


William b. Sparrow, printer, shot him
self through the left breast shortly after 0
o'clock yesterday morning IN his room at
80 II street, opposite the government print
ing office. Sparrow had been employed on
the Congressional Record, but had not
worked for two weeks. Tuesday he drew
S3S due him. William Schott, printer,
who was asleep In u room next to Sparrow,
heard the explosion Of the pistol, as did
MIR. VIM. L. Miller. Both men went to
Sparrow's room, and found him lying on
the floor with pistol at his side aud blood
streaming from his mouth. DR.. s. s. Bond
found that the ball had entered about
two inches above the nipple
and striking a rib had glanced
and passed through the left lung.
The man said that he was tired of living,
and had made IA id poor jobn Of taking
his life, he aimed too high for his heart,
and was sorry that he did not succeed In
bis effort. He WIS removed to Providence
Hospital. Sparrow came here from Spring
field, Vt, and is about 30 years old. His
friends say that he was not a hard drinker,
but he managed to "blow In" all his money
Tuesday night down town.
DR.. Bond pronounced the wound to be
very dangerous. Sparrow fingered at the
hospital until 6 o'clock in the evening, when
he died. Word was Immediately telegraphed
his father, and the remains will be held sub
ject TO the wishes Of the deccased's family.
Sparrow's friends were very sorry to learn
OF his death, as they hoped that the wound
he gave himself would not prove fatal.

union cloth ever made.
Hoping this may give you the informa-
ton you desire. / remain, very truly,

mixture of wool with the silk renders it
almost impossible to crack in wear. The
material is not more bulky than all silk

Our grand success as agents for the gen.
uine "Gloria" Cloth Umbrella prompted us
to make an offer for 5000. The large guam
tity induced the manufacturer to grant the
"Palais Royal" a special and low price.
We are pleased to announce we can, in the
future, sell the GENUINE "GLoRIA"
UMBRELLAS,
20 inch for S1.50.
2S-inch for $1.75.
The "Gloria" Umbrella at above prices
have paragon frames Of improved shape,
making the Umbrella when rolled up not
much larger than the fashionable cane.
These sticks are of natural wood, and be.
ing ALL IN ONE PIECE, they will not
break in wear.
We have the "Gloria" Umbrellas, with
sterling silver tops, for $a.20; with IA karat
gold (cap) tops for S2.2O.
